Firo - thats near enough to what i try and say, just that some of the locals seem to say patlanjik - maybe just to help us foreigners.

Yes, now we have that perhaps we can have Toky pronounced properly.  Me and Rosemary always have a laugh that some people pronounce it Tocky  like tick tock... However, it is Toky  Like Toe Key.

I agree I pronounce her name as Toe-key too, and on the same theme, why are people now pronouncing tennis player Djokovic  as Joke- ovich this year?? Unimportant but . . .irritating.

Expert that I am having had half a dozen Turkish lessons, the G is only silent when it's got the thingy over it as ğ ! Otherwise it's as in English  :-\
